UT Austin AT&T Executive Education Center

Austin, TX

Opened in August 2008, this hotel and conference center serves as the southern gateway to the University of Texas, welcoming executives, alumni, prospective students and visitors to campus. Developed by the University in conjunction with the McCombs School of Business, the 322,000-square-foot facility contains seven tiered classrooms, a 300-seat amphitheater, multiple break-out rooms, several conference rooms, and an 800-seat ballroom, all complementing the 300-room residential center. A central courtyard provides connections to the outdoors from all primary public spaces. The project is LEED Gold certified. In collaboration with HKS.Photography: Coles Hairston
